WELCOME TO MY WIDE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS

Hopefully from this page you will be able to find something of interest. I've added some great web links, and some sports-related wavs and sound bites, to go along with the other tape trading staples like my lists, and links to other traders and message boards.

Below you will find links to different categories of tapes in my collection: Auto Racing, Hockey, Baseball, College Football, NFL, and Other Football categories. Just click on the appropriate link and you will reach my lists.

My interest is solely in the fun and entertainment these tapes can bring.
I will not sell tapes. This rule is set in stone so don't bother asking.
Additionally, I only trade for game tapes. Trading for blanks is not an option I consider. However, I do attempt to upgrade the quality of some tapes, so I would consider trading for a game already on my list depending on the quality.

I am not meaning to come across as a hard @ss, but given limited free time for dubbing; the time involved in dubbing; wear and tear on tapes and equipment, trading for blanks just doesn't add up. Sorry.


A couple points regarding trades:


1) I will try and do everything I can to fit the entire game on a tape (or tapes) at SP, I expect the same, unless previously agreed upon while setting up the trade. ... If you don't intend to dub my games at SP, then say so that way I don't waste money buying T-160s, T-180s or T-200s, and don't waste time making sure your games fit on a tape at SP.


2) I am looking for games that I can enjoy so there are 2 critical issues.... A) I HATE EDITING OF HUDDLES, THERE IS NOTHING WORSE IN MY OPINION (this includes editing out replays; I also prefer leaving timeouts in the tape.) Edited huddles basically RUINS any game in my opinion!!!!!!!! and B) I am looking for complete games, if portions are missing please let me know in advance and I can pick a different game.


3) Be upfront about any of those issues. It's better to communicate such issues, as well as the quality, in advance and develop a good trading relationship and reputation rather than complete a trade that leaves either you or me disappointed. I'd rather undersell a game and have you pleasantly surprised that it was actually better quality that I stated, then have either party think they are getting a "A" grade tape that is closer to a "C".


4) I will try and be straightforward on these issues and others, and I expect the same.

REPEATING... I DO NOT SELL! SO DON'T ASK! If you see anything of interest and would like to trade please e-mail me at Z3Roadstar@prodigy.net. I also do not trade for blanks.

Thanks, and enjoy!
I will be inactive from trading until after the upcoming football season.

A few traders to be warned about, particularily for new people entering the hobby...

Matt Abrigg ... he sells games which is convenient for new collectors. However, he apparently takes forever to send, and the quality is severely over-graded. Some traders call their really bad tapes "Abriggs."... Gives you an idea what to expect. ... Ask around, I think you'll receive similiar feedback about him.

Mark Spivack (aka NFLonVHS) ... once a good trader, seems no longer interested in completing his end of trades. If you're contacted, be sure to require you receive your tapes before even bothering to dub his games. Left several people waiting last fall, ... waiting for months. Lots of stories, games are done & ready to mail... then 'which games were they again?'... 'Will go out next week... next month' ... But since August of 2001, no tapes from Mark, or as a couple traders have applied a new nickname... NFLNOTonVHS.
